Daily life of Egyptian Students of Kyushu University

in Fukuoka 福岡 فوآوآا JAPAN 日本 اليابان

In the morning:Usually we use Nishitetsu bus ( the main company for train and bus) in Kyushu area .Because the prices of transportation is very high (we use student card) it is more cheap and convenient and you can go anywhere around Fukuoka.

Prayer timeWe pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha in the Campus

Lunch time We take lunch in campus (the campus has a big restaurant ) but we usually prepare our food in home and bring it in lunch box because most of food in restaurant are NOT HALAL.

We can find HALAL food easily in Japan.

Radio‐Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) & Microwave Communication Devices Laboratory

In summary, we are now focusing our research on the following areas:(1) High speed, high linearity and low noise system LSI components for wireless communications systems,(2) Wideband RF front-end components for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications, (3) Digital Radio or DIGITAL RF Processor and its system components i.e. Digital-ASSISTATED RF/Analog circuits such as ADPLL (All-digital phase locked loop), DCO (digitally-controlled oscillators), sampling mixers, digital controlled PA, LNA etc. for Software defined radio or other reconfigurable applications.(4) Electrically small antennas for narrow band and UWB applications, (5) Interconnection technology of a chip to an antenna .
